COMBINATION CUTTING CHART AND TRANSFER PATTERN a ApplicationledSeptember 21, 1927. Serial No. 221,087.

My invention relates to a new and improved combination cutting chart andtransferpattern.

One of the objects of my invention is to 6 provide a combination deviceof the type above specified which will furnish the user with a completeguide for cutting out and sewing agarment.

. Another object of my invention is to provide a combination device ofthis type which will serve as a complete guide for seaming the garment,and-for supplying a smocking pattern; a cross-stitch design, shirring orany other desired decoration or finish for the garment. I

Other objects of my invention will set forth in the followingdescription and draw-- ing which illustrate a preferred embodimentthereof, it being understood that the above general statement o f theobjects of my invention` is intended merely to generally eX- plainthesame and n ot to limit it in any Fig. 1 diagrammatically illustrates acutting chart. l x

Fig. 2 diagrammatically illustrates a cutting and sewing transferapplied to the three pieces of material which have been cut or tornaccording to the cutting chart shown in Fig. 1. This shows Figs/1 and 3combined.

Fig. 3 diagrammatically illustrates a cutting-out and sewing guide.

A numberjof different types of garments, especially childrensVgarm`ents,"are best made if the lateral edges of the lengths ofmaterial respectively required for the front, back, sleeves and otherportions of the garment have a fllerthread or threads pulledout beforecutting or tearing the material into the desired lengths. If theedge ofeach piece has f This pattern could be placed at the top of either thefront or the back pieces. This would enable a pattern nine (9) inchesdeep to be utilized for making a dress of this type of any suitablelength, which could be from 27 to 40 inches. y

According to my invention, the cutting chart shown in Fig. 1 has aportion 1 corresponding to the front width orfront piece of the garmentwhich, for example, may be 32 inches long and 30 inches wide. It alsohas a portion 2 corresponding to the back piece or back width of thegarment, which has the same dimensions as the portion 1.

The portion 3 of the chart may correspond to the material necessary forthe sleeves of the garment and this, for example, may be 28 inches wideand 16 inches long.

It s to be understood that I do not limit myself t-o the speciiicfigures mentioned in the., specication as these are only given by way ofexample.

" Fig. 2 shows the result of applying the cutting and sewing transfer tothe three pieces of I material which have been cut or torn according tothe chart shown in Fig. 1.

The decorations 4 may be of any suitable type, such as French knots orthe like.

In the'cutting and sewing guides shown in Fig. 3, the panel or portion 5corresponds to the front of the garment, the panel or portion 6corresponds to the back of the garment, and the panels 7 andl 8correspond to the sleeves of .thel garment. It-is"assumed that thelength of 'the panels 5 and 6 is 36 inches and that the total width ofthe panels 5, 6 and 7 is 27 inches. y i

The portions 9 and 10 correspond to the collar of the garment, and theportions 11 and 12 correspond to the cuffs of the garment..

In order to practically ycarry ,outv the invention, the cutting andsewing guides should be printed with a transfer ink (as shown in'` U. S.Patent No. 1,590,648, for example) so that the entire pattern forcutting, sewing `and smocking a garment, or cutting, sewing anddecorating a garment in any manner whatever may be transferred either bya hot iron, by pressure alone, or by the use of any solvent material, tothe end of each piece or intended to assist the ornamentation of thegarment. y

According to myimproved method wherebythe cutting and sewing guides arecom. bined, easy and accurate results are secured and a great deal oftime is saved. In addition'to the increased accuracy of'thework, anotheradvantage of my method is that the upon separately. For example, ifcrossstitch or embroidery ornamentation .is desired upon the front ofthe garment or any part thereof, this front piece can be finished beforethe garment is put ltogether, which saves unnecessary handling of'the-other. pieces and contributes to the 'ease of working.

My invention also produces a marked economy in manufacture because thecomposite abbreviated pattern shown in Fig. 3, for example, andindicated' on' a small-cut.- ting chart as shown in Fig. 2 to designate,the length of material to be cut,' supplies everything necessary: In theold method it was necessary tohave two large paper patterns, one for theentire garment and another for xthe smo'eking, embriodery, decoration,etc.

I prefer to include a guide for two sizes upon a singlepattern, althoughthis is not necessary. 'This couldY be readily done by printing apattern with a solid line and a broken line, the solid line being usedas the 4cutting line for the larger size, for example,

and the broken line being used for the sewing or seam line therefor.'For the smaller sue, the broken line could be used as the cutting lineand the sewing line would be the desired seam line within it.'

In order to gtilize theabbreviated pattern disclosed herein, thematerial 'is first' cut along a line where a filler thread or threadsdifferent pieces of the.l garment can be worked principles of theinvention and without vsacriicing its chief advantages.

I claim: l i y 1. A garment pattern adapted to be sold as such andapplied by the purchaser to a suitable piece of textile material, thepattern having printed thereon, in a transferable medium, ornamentalmarkings and cutting lines in proper relationship, whereby theornamental markings and cutting lines may be applied in that samerelationship to any desired textile material by the purchaser in asingle transferring operation.

2. A garment pattern adapted toC be sold as such and applied by thepurchaser to a suitable piece of-textile material, the pattern havingprinted thereon, in a transferable medium, ornamental markings andcutting lines in proper relationship for one endonly of the garmentpart, whereby the pattern is substantially smaller in area than thegar-- ment pa'rt to be produced therefrom and wherebythe ornamentalmarkings and cutting lines may be applied in the relationship appearing.on the pattern to any desired textile material by the purchaser in asingle transferring operation, ythe single 'pattern being therebyadapted to be used in producing garment parts of various sizes.

3. A garmentvpattern adapted to be'sold as such and applied by thepurchaser to a suitable piece of textile material, the pattern havingprinted thereon, in a transferable thereby adapted to beusedinfp'roducinggarh ment parts of various sizes. y In testimony whereof Iaiix my signature.
